This is so sad, he looked like a beautiful man just like my son in-law , could be one of our own whanau….I hate gangs…this needs to stop

It was definitely God that day....

I'm so sorry for your lost of your baby Son all my aroha to both of you. my Son passaway April this year stay strong

Name and shame the officer who did nothing to help

Disgraceful on the behalf of that power company

I see your blister pack what meds are in it one big tablet and two small

She is evil and narcissistic personality disorder control of media and men

I worry for her and the 3 children when he's out.. He won't let this go, and he will use the children to get back at her, as he knows it's the only way he can hurt her now.. I hope they're surrounded by protection, they deserve to live a beautiful life.

Why didn't they just join another power company join prepay one if their Was bill

Y did she ever stay tho she could had ran away

What a harrowing watch. It is the weakest of men who use their fists to feel powerful. What a warrior Zania is.

If he was brought up with love, not violence the outcome would have been an amazing man, I think is parents were to blame not society.

He is soooo disgusting….

England is falling apart as we speak. It mite be said that indeginous ppls around the World, have been waiting for this time. There are good white ppl here & else where, who wont support racist remarks in this world. If you want to be a hero go defend your ancestral homeland. Then maybe youl receive a heros welcome when you return. Oh & Aotearoa nz citizenship.

Small town cops get away with so much it’s disgusting

Heartbreaking 😢😢😢

So much for women looking after women, 15 years and no other women stepped forward! She was a victim of small town violence where men and especially the police also women for16 years turned a blind eye, the cowards mentality! This is what happens in small isolated towns/communities world wide where people often lack any sense of responsibility for their follow human beings usually simply out of fear, shocking! The men and especially the police(!) now older will have time to think about how they stood by an watched a woman and her kids suffer while doing nothing or not enough, men (can't really call them men) at their worst. Notice how the prosecutor doesn't mention the lack of police or law enforcement involvement over 15 years, this is because the police work together with the gangs in NZ as police are never made accountable for their lack of involvement or following up by investigating instances of gang violence, probably because themselves living in the same town would be threatened by the gang. What a way to live!

These Moari talking about "Maori Culture" ... her husband was the embodiment of Maori culture! ... like it or not, you say "once were warriors" ... who were they warriors against before the whites arrived? huh? yup, that's right, other Maori ... this is Maori culture and will continue to be Maori culture for as long as you natives playing pretend bleh ... Pukana ...

My heart goes out to you and your children,what an amazing woman you are to have survived this I wish you and your children the life you so deserve ❤

This is not her debt, this is unlawful, she is a new tenant, her grandmother's estate lawyer needs to man up here for this family ASAP! and the power company needs to be sued, at lest be held accountable.!!!

As a fellow polynesian (Hawaiian) I am ashamed of this behavior.

Okay 4 years in a motel and your still popping out babies while living in a cramped motel room…why yous even still having kids In your situation???

Watching this and crying with sadness and joy. How wonderful to finally meet one another.

Pakeha are jealous of the beautiful connection Maori have with this land and their ancestors. It stings not to have an equivalent which causes pakeha to lash out and attempt to stop Maori exercising their ancestral rights.

That's the problem with this country's laws punishment doesn't fit the crime???

So lovely, so sad. I wonder why the parents parted loving each other so dearly?

TLC are dogs. Why should you be liable for something you did not sign up for? National government endorse this behaviour.

Now imagine not being allowed to have a culture, not allowed to know who your ancestors are, if you try you're stomped out by society, all around you you're bombarded with lies about your people. No help, no support, not even your own people are allowed to listen instead they're taught to hate themselves and forced to fight against you. A global minority, stolen from God, their ancestors stolen from them, driven from their lands and scattered throught the world and forced to adapt to a majorities world. This is the "pakeha" experience, the tragic tale of less then 10% of the world's population who aren't allowed to be who they are, they're not even allowed a homeland. No wonder middle aged "White" men comitt suicide so much.

The Japanese genealogists a genius 👍

Ataahua Migoto🙏. Your mama her wairua would have been there right beside you and your papa. I love these stories and yes I do have a tangi but happy tears. Much aroha to you and your whanau xxx

The fact that she said she doesn't blame her family and friends for not helping when they abandoned her one-by-one, simply because they were afraid of him, says a lot about her courage and forgiveness. As many have a said already, this isn't domestic violence, this is essentially a home invasion and kidnapping.

🤍

Matapiko…I hope they lose a lot of customers, I hope they get boycotted, I hope they get sued or taken to court for dishonouring their contract with her, I also hope all of their power lines get cut off somehow.

TLC is owned by Waitomo Energy Services Customer Trust.

It's sick and happens in every town in new Zealand everyone watching this that does it will not stop because of this one video which is sad violence is so normalised in NZ from swearing and arguing to fighting to bullying.

That poor woman, my heart goes out to you and all our woman who cowards raise their hands to🙏

When you stop giving your power to politicians including the Maori party . And just do what you want everyone we still be slaves. Stop registering with Winz , fuck sake

Racism???? 🤷‍♂️ ……oh please give me a bloody break! Labelling this racism where there is no actual indication of racial intent OR that the police response was somehow deliberately lack lustre due racial prejudice is ridiculous! Can we please stop this BS of labelling everything racist! This is a horrible story of someone doing something terribly reckless and dangerous out of stupidity and poor impulse control. The police response was also terrible but claiming police reacted differently to “other shootings” is gaslighting because it’s quite normal for police to react differently when one is a slug gun “shooting” (extremely rare to be fatal and exponentially less alarming from a policing perspective) to the police response of an actual “shooting” in play with live fire rounds in real guns. How can an issue like this be resolved when all the headless chickens run around screaming “racism” “racism”. Further, a father fuelled with PTSD, and anger (both understandable) goes and confronts the man who allegedly shot the slug gun, violently assaults him at a time when there was no immediate or current threat and after the fact cries “I was defending my family”. Wow, ok, let’s just ignore the assault and battery because his “feelings” make it justified? My god the hypocrisy of humans is astounding. Zero critical thinking, zero rationality. Now we have all the local standing on pedestals of virtue crying racists! Yeah so virtuous….so decent, pfffft take the police out of the situation and these “righteous locals” would have turned up at his door the same way the father did, labelled him without anything but circumstantial evidence, tried him in a kangaroo court and lynched him as a racist. Pffffft the only innocent party in all this is the boy. (I do believe on the balance of circumstantial evidence that this guy likely fire the slug gun, but we have courts for a reason, a very bloody good reason. Because “town justice” and vigilantism is extremely dangerous to ALL)

This has called a loss of value on their properties, take a class action against your council for compensation. 😜🌻👍

Sad to hear, but was it International Tae kwon Do or Federation Tae Kwon Do as they are two completely organisations? Federation has nothing to do with International. There is a International sign behind one of your photos. The instructor should of been banned for life.

😢

Man that sounds horrible, poor lady, i wonder Why didn't she try a different company? Did it need to be the same company to connect the power? Genuine question?

Crazy to see people in the comments (thankfully close to the bottom) calling the perpetrators of this crime "victims"

oh Bless!

My sister lost her son 25 years ago and she’s still grieving! She just managed to contact me recently and she’s moving back from Hamilton to Auckland. God bless. Kia Kaha. 💜

How horrible for her such a beautiful woman, he was so evil and controlling,

Why don't u people look at privacy laws, biometric laws, non cellular business. These people have rapacious appetites...frankly speaking

Resolve the bill for your grandmother, make regular payments...

She's pretty 😍

What I don't get is why didn't any of his family jump in when he first got hooked in the hall? Wasn't any of his male family there aswel? Even him having to run it I don't get why none of his family didn't follow behind either, just let him run away on his own. So sad RIP Jermaine 🕊
